Steven Anderson Obituary
Steven began his professional career in residential and building design with David Simonini Custom Homes in Charlotte, NC. He aspired to own his own company and realized that dream upon receiving his General Contractor's License on September 20, 1999, and launching Anderson Builders, Inc. As a respected builder, he was an active member within the National Association of HomeBuilders. His reputation for quality and attention to detail quickly built a thriving business, which was something of extreme pride.
Steven will be remembered for his infectious life energy, love of family and friends, contagious laughter, and unquenchable thirst to live every single day to the limit. He viewed the world and every situation as changeable and had only words of praise and encouragement for both strangers and friends alike.
Surviving, in addition to his parents, are brothers Gus of Charlotte and Frank, his wife Debbie and their daughter Kate of Jamestown, NC; aunts, Mrs. Al (Jo) Allen of Titusville, FL, Mrs. Shirley Vincent Siravo of Wakefield, RI, Mrs. Barbara Hoffman of Hillsborough, NC, Mrs. Lois Bergman of Warwick, RI, Mrs. Francis Virginia Impalazzo of Peacedale, RI; family friend, Bud Frosh of Jamestown, NC; and his beloved friend, Kristi Laws of Charlotte, NC.
His family takes solace at this time in the fact that he was a most kind, thoughtful, and very precious son, brother, and friend.
Honorary Pallbearers are all of his friends whom he loved dearly and are too numerous to list.
A service will be held at the Belk Chapel at Queens University of Charlotte, 1900 Selwyn Avenue, Friday, June 6, 2003 at 11:00 a.m. Visitation with family and friends will take place after the service at The Sunset Club on South Boulevard.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Steven Anderson Memorial Fund in care of Blanche Callahan, Scottish Bank, 1057 Providence Road, Charlotte, NC 28207.
Arrangements are in the care of Heritage Funeral Home, Weddington Chapel.

Reading all of these nice things that people have written to and about Steven makes me wish that I knew him better. The common thread seems to be his love for life and his infections laugh and smile. All of which will hopefully be things we try to carry on in his honor.
My heart goes out to the Anderson Family and to Kristi Laws. Steven was so lucky to have such great family and friends. He will truly be missed.
Kristi...I'm just a phone call away.

Steven touched my life when I thought it not possible. He is larger than life and will always be the shining star that I want to follow. He was always true, kind and encouraging. He constantly reminded me not to be too hard on myself, and always knew how to make me laugh when I felt like crying. And made a good time even better. He was my best friend. He was everyone's best friend! My love and prayers always to the Anderson Family. -Steven, love you Darl'n!
What is Dying?
A ship sails and I stand watching till he fades on the horizon and someone says, "he is gone, Gone where? He is still as large as when I saw him. The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, and just at the moment when someone at my side says, "he is gone, There are others who are watching him coming, and other voices take up a glad shout, "There he comes!" and that is dying.

My friend Steven, I do not like many people because of their pettiness and insincerity, which were personality traits you did not possess. You at times were my inspiration, to be better than I am, and other times a comrade when I was in need of help.... and if we wanted to get in some trouble, their was an inviting barstool for us whereever we ended up. We understood each other better than people knew. In the 15 years we were friends I never met a funnier, crazier, better looking, pleasant fellow. I really like you... you were what is best in men. Michelle and I are both beside ourselves with grief.
So I bid you farewell my Brother, my Captain, my King. Have a blessed and safe journey.

We haven't been able to think clearly since since learning Steven passed away - it is so surreal. The one thing we find peace in is knowing that Pete (Mike's dad) will take care of Steven, show him the ropes, and with them together heaven will never be the same! Our thoughts and prayers are with you - we love you! Peyton & Mike

Don't Cry My Friends
Don't cry anymore tears for me,
I am at peace; I' finally free
Like the eagle in the sky,
I'm soaring so please don't cry.......
I know you love me,
I love you too,
But my time was over,
was finally through.
I have ascended to a better place
which is not confined by time and space.
to those that loved me,
I did not fall,
I only succumbed to a higher call.
Do not mourn me,
I am with you still
I'll be with you always,
from dawn..............until.
Gus, Leslie, Christy, Family and friends.. you will be in my thoughts and prayers..

I haven't seen Steven in a very long time. I moved to San Diego shortly after college, but, many of my friends here know Steven through the stories I have shared with them. He was so good and kind and generous to me. It was an honor and a privlege to have known him.

Immediately after hearing the news from Jeff Tuesday morning I drove home from work and rummaged through old photographs to see Steven's face again. I remembered the last time I had spoken with him was years ago at my wedding, so I put in the tape. As anyone who knew Steven knows, I spotted his stance and swagger through the crowd, and then, he turned to the camera and there was that smile and then his head thrown back with that laugh and a wave "Hey Mary!! Love ya sweety".
He was a treasure.
Blanche and Gus, you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

When Steven walked into a room, also walked in the sun, fun and a love of life and people that saturated the entire place. He was such a blessing to all he came in contact with and he will truely be missed, although remembered and loved always. I feel very blessed the good Lord allowed our paths to cross and honored to share a part of such a wonderful persons life.

When I spoke to Danny Morganelli, he told me that William Vaughn had called to say, "...I have some bad news...one of our comrades has fallen...it's Steven." That statement alone seems to stop time. That's why we are all so blessed to have the precious memories of Steven's smile and personality. May God watch over him and his family and friends.

It doesn't matter whether you have been somewhere 6 minutes, 6 hours, 6 days or 6 years, but was the place better for you having been there. For Steve, it is a thundering yes! To quote Albert Schweitzer - "In everyone's life, at some time, the inner fire burns out. It is then burst into flames by the encounters of another human being. We sould all be thankfull for those who rekindle our inner spirit." This is Steven Anderson's legacy. You will always be with us and will forever be missed!
